I'm sitting here on the balcony
On this dark and dreary night.
The light beaming from the lighthouse
Is the only light in sight.

My sailor sweetheart is out there
Where, I do not know.
He's only been gone a week,
But it seems like so long ago.

On our last night together,
He was sitting here with me.
It was a warm moonlit night
With millions of stars to see.

We spent most of that day,
Nestled in each others arms.
I felt so much joy and rapure,
While he showed me all his charms.

The days will go by so slowly,
Until he's in my arms once more.
There's nothing I can do, but wait
Til he comes walking thru that door.
